Questions
Is it free?
Yes. Free makes 2 uploads a week into flashcards and notes. Studying everything you made is free and unlimited, without ads. Pro is for making more. See what Pro adds.
Do I have to type the cards?
No. StudyLess writes them from the PDF. You can edit or delete any card, and write your own.
Will the cards come back before my test?
If you want them to, turn on a review schedule for that material: cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know wait longer. It stays off until you turn it on.
Can I make a practice test from the same PDF?
Yes. Each PDF becomes a material you can make practice tests from. Here's how.
Who can see my PDF?
Only you, unless you share it. You can delete it at any time.
